The Best Steakhouses in Rio de Janeiro, by the Record

An Argentine steakhouse with a terrace that looks straight out over Marina da Glória, where the view alone could sell you a second glass of Malbec. The name nods to a classic tango, and the mood follows suit: expansive dining rooms, a glass-fronted wine cellar, and a menu built around serious cuts off the grill. Finish with the dulce de leche pancake and you'll understand why Argentina takes dessert personally.

Everything on the menu, fish and meat alike, goes over charcoal, which keeps the focus admirably narrow for a steakhouse with this much real estate. The dry-aged cuts and the house rump cap are the main event, though a slow-cooked Uruguayan lamb shoulder with its own jus makes a reasonable argument for itself. Exposed stone, leather sofas, and a basement wine cellar holding over 400 labels round out the rustic-elegant affect.
